End of Leave
Finally met up with Cheng Wei yesterday after such a long time. Both of us were clearing leave so juz nice, we could meet on a weekday. Shopped around abit then sat down for tea at Marmalade Pantry to catch up with each other.
Iced Summer Peach Tea. It was so-so only. My boss told me today their pastries are much better...
Me and Cheng Wei :) 
Taken using CW's polaroid camera. Gotten my increment letter today. A tad disappointed to be honest. Prob cos last yr was too good to be true and caused me to have high expectations these days. Hmmm... Anyhow, I'm rotating to a new team this Fri, 1 Apr. New FY, new challenges and new stuffs for me to learn. Whether it is a good or bad thing remains to be unknown...

Things that I like
My Katy Perry Teenage Dream nail polish with Black Shatter coat. Both from OPI... Love experimenting with my own nails. Will I ever open my own manicure shop? Hmmm... It will remain in my dream for now...
Lok Lok in JB! See below...
It's some lorry which randomly stops along the streets. They have varieties of small bites on satay sticks. U take ur pick and pass to the uncle who will cook it for U. Something which we do not see in S'pore. It's quite nice for supper I think. My fav are the cheese hotdog and bacon-wrapped golden mushroom...
Got to go for badminton at my uncle's place alr. Gonna squeeze in some running or swimming too. Looking forward to my next long weekend the following week alr...

Ramen again and Meetup
It's gotta be the most filling and expensive ramen I had so far. Coll and frenz strongly recommend that I try this Pork Cheek ramen at Santouka. It's around $20++. So many pieces of meat. Ate until I had stitches in my tummy after tat. The meat is supposed to be soft and tender, melt-in-your-mouth kind. The ones I got were lean meat and pretty hard to chew actually. But it wasn't such a bad thing cos it meant I didn't get those with lots of fats. Doesn't rank high on my list of ramen. I won't be going bk to eat so often. Prob only when I'm real hungry...
After that, we headed to Summer Frost for desserts. Jac was craving for some and I vaguely rem there was this small dessert shop at *Escape near Cineleisure. We ordered this Mango Mania. I only had 1 spoonful cos I was super duper full alr. It was good!
Us... Meet up soon again k!
Us... Meet up soon again k!
Been to JB both Sat and Sun. Die man... When can I ever start on my diet?? Kept eating and I haven't ran nor attended pilates last week. I think I really can get used to short work week and long weekends too. This is a sure recipe for getting fat lor but it feels really shiok. 3 days work week for me again this week :) Going to color my hair. Ciao!

Food Post
Finally, the pics of my family buffet are out.
The special Braised duck which I mentioned in my previous entry.
My family can nv go w/o fruits for a meal. The korean strawberries are uber sweet...
Had Jap buffet last Sat nite for dinner. It's $33++ for wkend dinner. Food is quite nice but service was extremely slow. We ordered so many dishes but only like half of it came. We already complained to the Lady boss but to no avail. There was no dessert in the menu as well. Not value for $$. Given a chance, I wouldn't go back there again...
Italian food for Sun dinner @ Amici. I had some clams spaghetti in white wine sauce. It's supposed to be one of their award winning dishes. Not nice at all. I can still taste the sand from the shells and the sauce had some fishy/sea smell and taste. He had black squid spaghetti. Both of us having diarrhea over Mon and Tue. We wonder if it's from the salmon on Sat or clams/squids on Sun. Hmmm...

Luv March
First day of March and I'm juz feeling happy generally. Prob cos I'm on leave every Fri of the mth. And this week, I got leave on both Thurs and Fri which means tmr is my last work day of the week! Also, we normally get our increment letter by end of Mar. Ok, better not raise my expectation too high but I think it should be good lah. My comp is having a movie night at Vivo end Mar too to thank us for the hard work that we have put in for the Financial Year. Yippie so much stuffs to look fwd to...Our family held the annual buffet for our relatives over the last weekend. But this time the venue is at my Uncle's condo as the lifts at my block are closed off for upgrade and it will be inconvenient for many. Food is good with the special dish of Braised duck which I have never seen at other buffets before. Waiting for the pics from my bro's gf cos silly me forgot to bring my new camera. I went swimming for the first time in many many years. Thank god I haven't lost the skills yet but stamina wasn't as good alr. 1 lap got me panting like mad...
Met another C/P yesterday morning. Come to think of it, I actually like such meetings now. Even though I am possibly the smallest fry at the meeting, I got to meet all these big shots, shook their hands and even pass them my namecard. Prob if I get to bump into them at future interviews, they might have slight impression of me. Sian thing is the minutes which I have to write after that. There's always trade-off for everything I guess...
